522501 2007-02-04 02:40:00 In a previos thread of mine I asked if anyone had any info. on bradfriedman DOT com. www.pressf1.co.nz . Well, I did more research and found connections to a push/dump stockmarket spam scam and also to online pharmacutical scams i.e. Viagra et. al.
I have often wondered why people bother setting up such scams, there's alimit to how much Vigra one would buy. However, quite by chance I was trying to read a statement by the RIAA Website but it wouldn't connect. I put 2+2 together and figured it may be blocked by my system, so I did a whois check and hey presto!

Same here. Maybe it's been hacked and taken down.
